If you follow cricket, then you'll know that England have been thoroughly out thought, out gunned and ultimately out played in the one day series following the Ashes. In this slideshow, I will outline who I think should be in the team and you can make your own mind up. The team is predominantly young players that we can nurture for the future and could possibly rise to be future stars of English cricket. Please don't leave any comments that are insulting or abusive in any way as they will be removed.
1. Adil Rashid
Adil Rashid is perhaps the most promising young prospect in cricket since a 16 year old Sachin Tendulkar made his test debut in 1989. Rashidis not only gifted in the art of leg spin bowling but can bat, with technique, too. The fact that England have a leg spinner of Rashid's age and class can only promise good things for the future and he should be playing regular ODI cricket to prepare him for the next level. Let's hope we see him on the trip to South Africa.
2. Dimi Mascherenas
2. Dimitri Mascarenhas
Not the most appealing batsman nor the fastest bowler available to England. But what he lacks here, he makes up for in grit and determination. Bowling an uncomfortable line just outside off stump with the keeper standing up ensures a very good economy, whilst his power hitting down th order can demoralise any opponent, add precious extra runs in limited overs and swing the momentum in England's favour.
3. James Foster
James Foster is not the worlds most aggressive batsman, but he can rotate the strike easily enough to give the strike to a bigger hitter. He is able enough to score 50 runs+ in matches and in crucial situations can hit 20's and 30's at over a run a ball. As a keeper, he is second to none in the English County Cricket. An expert gloveman when standing up to the wickets, we are safe in the knowledge that any sharp catches or stumpings will be taken. And he's young.
4. Graham Napier
Graham Napier is a man of immense talent. A huge ton in T20 in the 2009 season. He hits the ball as hard as anyone available to England and is not a bad bowler who can reach mid-80's. As a fielder he isn't bad either and we can be sure that his introduction would spark up the dressing room and lighten moods up during a period of dire cricket.
5. Michael Carberry
Michael Carberry is one of the most fluent batsmen in county cricket. He can provide a stable knock throughout innings or he could be an injection of life into the innings with big hitting and good running. Also lightning quick between wickets and outfield, Carberry is a very talented cricketer especially given the fact he is a brilliant fielder.
